There's a long article about the word locofoco on page 252 of Bartlett's
Dictionary of Americanisms (1859), which you can read at google books:
https://books.google.ca/books?id=bntXAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=inauthor:%22John+Russell%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwimsaSbipbKAhUGWx4KHZroCXIQ6AEIJDAB#v=onepage&q&f=false

And which you might also keep in mind as a potential source next time it's
your turn to choose a word.
